My Nerf AccuStrike RaptorStrike Blaster Review

By: Jeremy Alden

Besides power, accuracy is one of the most important things to look for in a Nerf gun. All puns aside, however, accuracy can be a bit of a hit or miss throughout various Nerf gun series. Finding a blaster that can actually deliver on its promise is, for some, very necessary.

Fortunately, there are Nerf blasters that are designed to offer a more accurate experience. Take, for example, the Nerf AccuStrike series.

One excellent entry in this series that you may have come across is the Nerf N-Strike Elite AccuStrike RaptorStrike blaster. But as it goes with most weapons, can the RaptorStrike deliver on its promises and offer the blasting accuracy you’re looking for?

If the Nerf N-Strike Elite AccuStrike RaptorStrike is a product that someone you know has been wanting, we’ve conducted a thorough review of the RaptorStrike to provide you with what you need to know before you buy. Let’s dive in!

Nerf N-Strike Elite AccuStrike RaptorStrike Review

Style and Design

The Nerf AccuStrike series offers a refreshing twist on the traditional Nerf color scheme. The Nerf N-Strike Elite AccuStrike RaptorStrike is a long blaster with a strikingly orange body and sleek black design additions across the side of the product.

What we like with this blaster is that its features are much sharper, creating a more modern, minimalistic feel than the mechanical design you would expect from most other Nerf guns. These features are then built upon by the many extras that come equipped with this weapon.

If you’ve been on the hunt for a blaster that looks a bit different than the average product, you are definitely going to enjoy having the RaptorStrike in your arsenal.

Ammo Capacity

The Nerf N-Strike Elite AccuStrike RaptorStrike comes equipped with six darts per ammo clip.

Although this can seem like a relatively small amount, it’s important to note that the RaptorStrike was designed to be a long-range weapon, meaning that you would most likely be firing shots from a further distance at an enemy (although you can certainly use it as a primary weapon).

Overall, the clip system should help keep your blaster replenished at all times and provide you with enough ammo to take out the enemy.

Firing Style and Range

The Nerf N-Strike Elite AccuStrike RaptorStrike uses a bolt-action priming mechanism on the side of the weapon to prepare your shots.

Just pull back on the bolt, push forward, and fire at will. The estimated range for this weapon is anywhere from 50 to 75 feet.

While this may not measure up with other blasters in the Nerf N-Strike Elite lineup, it will still perform well in most environments, especially at further ranges.

But where does the accuracy come in? The improved accuracy actually has nothing to do with the blaster itself. Instead, the accuracy is said to be a result of the dart design.

Nerf AccuStrike darts feature a spiral tip that is said to help them maintain balance and shoot straighter than other Nerf darts.

Additionally, the weight for these darts is different, which is said to play a role as well. If you’re looking for more control and better accuracy, the RaptorStrike will provide.

Additional Features

This blaster has a couple of unique features that will help you get more out of the weapon.

 For those who intend on taking advantage of the Nerf N-Strike Elite AccuStrike RaptorStrike as a far-range blaster, Nerf has included a bipod that can help you keep your weapon steady as you aim at weapons.

They have also included a pop-up scope that can be used to improve your shots as well as a shoulder stock that will help you prevent your gun from moving too much during a shot.

 Even better, the shoulder stock offers you extra storage space for another dart clip!

What We Like

• Exciting Fresh Design: There’s something about the Nerf N-Strike Elite AccuStrike RaptorStrike that is vastly different from the other Nerf guns that you may see on the market.
  This exciting new design can be very refreshing to players who may be tired of using the same similar-looking weapons.
• Easy to Reload: Although this blaster only offers six darts per clip, a clip system makes it much easier to reload your weapon, especially if you’re facing down an enemy that is approaching quickly.
  Whether you plan on shooting from farther distances or want to bring your blaster right into the middle of all of the action, the speedy reloading and additional storage space on this blaster will make sure that you are covered for all types of combat.

• Plenty of Features Offered for Accuracy: AccuStrike series weapons are, on their own, designed to offer improved accuracy.
  However, the RaptorStrike goes above and beyond by providing you with features like a foldable bipod, a shoulder storage stock, and a pop-up scope to help you get steadier, more accurate shots.
• Everything You Need Is Built Onto the Gun: Removable pieces can have their advantages, but sometimes it is nice to have everything right where you need it so that you don’t have to worry about carrying it around with you during battle.
  Everything from the stock to the bipod on this weapon is built-in, making it so that it is always there to help you get the performance you’re looking for.

What We Don’t Like

There’s nothing on this gun that appears to pose a problem for functionality or usability!
